Pilot Surprises Parents With A Special Thank You Message On His Debut Flight, Leaves Them In Tears

We really wish to thank our parents for the sacrifices and efforts they have made in order to make us successful in life. But we often fall short of words and ways to make our parents feel special and thank them for all that they have bestowed upon us for years. An Air Asia pilot, however, had the best ever surprise plan for his parents.

Setting some major ‘son goals’, the Filipino pilot, Genesis Bernardo managed to get his parents traveling to Taiwan on his debut flight as a captain.

He started off with the announcement saying, “Good morning ladies and gentlemen from the flight deck, this is Genesis Bernardo, your captain speaking”. His parents erupted in joy as soon as his parents heard the voice of their son from the deck.

After making the standard announcement, the pilot took a few moments to share a heartwarming message, thanking his parents.

“I would like to thank you for loving me unconditionally as your son, and for teaching me to do my best in everything that I do. I also thank you for inspiring me to never stop dreaming big and making me believe that everything is possible as long as you have faith,” he said.

“You are one of the biggest reasons why I am here commanding a flight and flying this airplane,” he added.

Listening to their son’s emotional speech, his parents were moved to tears. His brother recorded the entire touching scenario and shared it on Facebook.

Touched by the pilot’s heartening gesture, people from all over the world are sending him loads of salutes and love.

To watch their children touching the heights of success is the happiest thing for any parent. And, making our parent’s chest swell with pride is a dream of every son or daughter. Making such a special moment more amazing with a touching message for parents is surely a cherry on the cake!
